Dominic Cummings “almost single-handedly destroyed” UK lockdown – Morgan

"God knows what Cummings has on Boris Johnson, but it must be bad", he said.

Piers Morgan has accused Dominic Cummings of “almost single-handedly destroying” the UK lockdown in a fiery outburst on Good Morning Britain.

The co-host, back after a week’s rest, did not waste any time in tearing into the Prime Minister’s chief aide.

He said that not only did Mr Cummings break UK quarantine rules by driving 260 miles to Durham with his family at the peak of the pandemic, but that the continued defence of his actions had undermined trust in Government.

It echoes results from a new study that showed adherence to lockdown guidelines fell at the same time as confidence in Government dropped.

According to University College London’s (UCL) Covid-19 social study of more than 90,000 adults during the outbreak, “complete” compliance of Government recommendations has decreased in the past two weeks.

It declined from an average of 70 per cent of people who were completely adhering to just over 50 per cent.

Morgan said Mr Cummings has “almost single-handedly” destroyed the lockdown, adding that he must “have something” on Boris Johnson to have kept his job.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
